Today’s Tips: Saturday 15th October 2022
31 from the book!
Some reward for our persistence yesterday, with a couple of consistent animals showing up for us…
Fengarada (5 unit win) just loves those heavy tracks, and he rolled the fav in good style to win at $3.50.
Moscow Red (3 units ew) continued his good form, stepping up to Listed grade and running third at $5.60 the place.
Big day today of course, with the Caulfield Cup and the Everest, and a huge 31 from the book, let’s dive in with The Best and The Rest!!
THE BEST
CHOKITO, AMBERECHO, FIRST ROCK
Ashburton, 7
We’ve got three in this, and all with a show for various reasons, at $6.50, $8 and $13. Worth including in your exotics.
BET: Can back all ew, plus exotics.
MASCARINTO
Hastings, 3
Resumed with a nice win at Ruakaka, will run as odds-on fav here, should be too good…
BET: 10 unit win
SAPPORO
Hastings, 5
Also ran well on resumption for a third, and is a legit place bet today at $6.50.
BET: 4 units ew
OSELETA
Hastings, 6
Generally close, apart from her last in the Listed Opunake Cup at New Plymouth two back. Show today at $17.
BET: 3 units ew
CAP DE JOIE
Caulfield, 2
Thought Olly ballsed up her run last time out, dead last at Sandown before unleashing when it was too late to go down by 1.3 lengths. Will surely make amends today, the 1700m won’t be a concern. $1.90 on offer.
BET: 10 unit win
SHALSTAR
Caulfield, 6
After her debut second, she’s run four wins on the trot and should fill a place at worst today up in grade for her sternest test. Untried on heavy, $6 on offer.
BET: 3 units ew
ASFOORA
Caulfield, 7
Raced away when resuming at Sandown before a close seventh at the Valley. Has won 4 from 6, another untried on heavy, $4.60 on offer.
BET: 3 units ew
SMOKIN’ ROMANS
Caulfield, 9
Has been wonderful last two for us, winning at $8 and a nice $21 to earn favouritism for the Caulfield Cup. Great stats and a great chance with Ms Kah on top, $4/$2 on offer.
BET: 5 units ew
FAR TOO EASY
Randwick, 5
Great strike rate (won 6 from 11) and spanked ‘em last time out at the Gold Coast. Won a trial recently, hard to beat today, $4.40/$2
BET: 5 units ew
NATURE STRIP, MASKED CRUSADER, SHADES OF ROSE
Randwick, 7
Hard to see them knocking this fav off, value will be finding something to fill the exotics and MC and SOR are likely candidates.
BET: NS 10 unit win, include other two in exotics…
KASHKAR
Rockhampton, 6
Doesn’t jump out as an obvious choice but has good stats for this and Whiteley’s engagement is a positive. $8 makes her a value bet.
BET: 4 units ew
TARA JASMINE
Eagle Farm, 10
Has struck a rich vein of form this prep, good stats again and value at $13. Watch for her late in the piece.
BET: 3 units ew
